Very clean site plan! I like your perpendiculars.

Just wondering how you guys pull accurate dims on site plans with odd shaped lots. Do you try and pull a dim from the edge of the home to perpendicular or just straight like shown below? I have done both before. I can imagine when a builder stakes out the home it has to be hard on these types.

I am still on X13 and was wanting to clean this up. I don't plan on going to X14 anytime soon, at least not until the end of the year. I apparently did not export correctly when I went from X12. All my stuff is there but it would be nice to clean it up.

Every since I upgraded to X13, my library has been unorganized. I have learned to adapt to it. If we cannot drag and drop the files back in the correct folders how can this be fixed? I will use this info for when I go to X14 as well. User catalog should only be the symbols I make correct?

learned something new from this!

Pretty cool, never thought of that. And I found by doing so i was off by 45 minutes when I manually added the times.

Yeah, I need to renew my excel.......Thanks

Can someone teach me the way to get certain times added up? I thought before we could click a date, hold shift, then click the last date and it would add the hours for ya. Can't get it to work now (x13). In this case I want it to add June 20th-june 22nd total time. Thanks! I tried messing with the "start" and "end" pulldowns but I got some wacky hours.

COOL VID!

Agreed, I was lazy this time haha. I guess when I think about it, take a 3" brick and add 1" air gap that gives you the 4". I'm just one of those guys who has to ask questions to answer my own questions. Sometimes, I would like to program my brain accurately.

Would it be considered correct the way it is shown? If you look at the 3d model it all falls in line.

I hate brick homes, they do this every time. If the floor plan is saying 104' and the foundation says 104'-4" that's fine if you tell them "edge of brick ledge". But what dictates that extra 4". Brick ledges are 3" correct? What is that 2 1/4" dim below in the pic. I do not want to screw up the very first thing that is done on a home.

well, that cleared that up! It worked. Much appreciated!

hmmm, do half walls create a different type of room?...no options to check that on my end. Also, that is a custom counter top I added on top so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Guys, I am building an island with half walls in the middle to rest the cabinets against as well as adding outlets on them. How can I get rid of the hole in the ceiling plane since it is seeing the space as a room? the space is listed as "unfinished".

done.....thanks

I will look into both methods from you and chop. I have been manually building my porches lately with the beams and columns.

very true....I should have called it an exposed stained/painted beam or something. I knew someone would catch that.

What is the correct way to achieve this? I want the board and batten brought down to hide the LVL. I like exposed beams but the owner doesn't. Attached is a screen shot showing the simple dropper tool and the pattern not orientated right and essentially this is not a "real world" way of doing it but it is quicker to get the point across. Note that I used a ceiling beam and edited the size and type to 12' LVL. Would you..... (a) create a new pattern rotating the board & batten 90 deg? or (b) build a polyline solid, give it the B&B material and attach to the side of the LVL?

Dimension reach sounds like a plan.

2 years later I come across this same situation. Luckily I got a hit on the forum for this and it works by disconnecting the railing. Surely by now there is a fix for this?

BTW, it's going to be a cool Barndo. I do plenty of them down here in Bama.

like this?? and try toggling "sunlight"

Thanks for the help chop!
